Rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis: the potential nursing contribution.
This article, the second in a series focusing on aspects of rehabilitation, considers the potential nursing role in relation to multiple sclerosis (MS). It begins with a brief description of the experience of MS as recounted by the individuals affected, which is then contrasted with current interventions which focus primarily on physical aspects of care. A number of areas of potential improvement are outlined, together with suggestions for a more comprehensive nursing role.
